Farewell to the PNDub... :(

from my email to James:



Heating issues seem to be resolved when I put in some fresh coolant.

Here's the tentative parts list. Plus some brake pads that I have in my garage:

Curious how all those parts are so cheap. Most are 1/4-1/2 of our dealership cost.

You will be very close to my uncle if you are in Costa Mesa. Hes got a shop out there. I hope to see you there.

OH ok. As long as youre not planning on settling down there, its not that bad. Trust me, Ive lived in some very shady places in L.A. I cant wait to pop your cherry. You will be in good hands.



Mariano

Definitely wouldn't settle down in Santa Ana :p

I'm focusing on Costa Mesa right now actually, just contacted an apartment finding service so I can get this shit rolling quicker.

Hey Mariano! Leave the Handy Js to us PNW boys!

When you do the T/O Bearing don't let James convince you to not grease it. ;)

What is all is wrong with the car? I may be down for a late night or Sunday or two.

from my email to James:

Things I know need to be fixed:

New clutch (throwout bearing is making lovely noises)
Rear subframe bushings

Parts I have:
Sway links front/back

Things that could use replacing/checkup
Belts/hoses.
Fluids (transmission, mostly)
Lock actuators, not necessary, but would be handy to replace since my
keyless entry doesn't work anymore
motor/tranny mounts?

Problems I'm having:
Car seems to be getting pretty hot lately when driving around town.
I'm not sure if I need some new radiator fluid or if I need to change
the oil (its about that time again) but yesterday the temps climbed to
about 3/4 and once I turned the heat onto full blast it brought it
down to half and then once I got on the free way it dropped to a
quarter before settling at 1/2 again. The thermostat was replaced when
I did my timing belt about a year and a half ago so i'm not too
worried it.

Clutch slips (clunk clunk clunk) when the car is getting alot of low
speed clutch usage and its hot out. I'm assuming this is the clutch
issue.

Heating issues seem to be resolved when I put in some fresh coolant.

[Kruzen]

how much are your quotes for kruzen. Ive delivered cars to cali before lots of times, I just fly back when im done.

Low end, 675, high end. 850.

Most places seem to say they will do 600'ish for standard and 800 for expedited.

That all depends on how quickly we can get parts from patrick and get the car thrown together :)

My start date is OCtober 13th now, actually. So I'm gonna have to bust ass on this thing with you guys. I may end up driving it down if it comes down to the line.

On another note, finding an apartment thats livable is proving to be a pain in the ass.

Anyone have a shipping company to reccomend for the car? I have quotes from 11 places but have no idea who to go with.

Once again, Fat, ugly, unemployed and ghey Farbin manages to mention us (Lifestyle Crew) without even knowing who we are. Get a job..............

good group of friends who really enjoy their e30's = e30 Lifestyle




KRUZEN, Welcome to Cali

Exactly, minus the fat, the ugly, and the ghey. And, I don't know why your jumping down my throat, I didn't say anything wrong. So, your in the wrong for being so rude to me when I was just letting a fellow r3v'er know he would be closer to you BMW technicians.



Oh yeah, and I do know who you idiots are.

[mtechnik]

Good luck with the move down south Kruzen. At least you have your girlfreind going along.

Well, I probably saw you at one of the picnics and didn't know who you were. I never got to meet you, but I remember PM'ing you a long ass time ago asking you some noob question, and you responded kindly.

So good riddance and good luck. I'm sure you'll love it.

It is OK to cry you know TwoJ's :razz: ;)
